I like the latest post in the CPHog profile. Any chance you can add it as a watch forum? Also, any chance you can add the watch forums to the main CP page? Once in CP, I had to click on Lounge before I could visit CPHog which is annoying.

I actually just threw that in for kicks... see if you can figure out what the real new feature is... 
(hint: find a user who has recently changed their nick...)
Bassam Abdul-Baki wrote: Any chance you can add it as a watch forum?
What, something that always displays a user's last five posts? Yeah, that'd be do-able. You could enter a ticket... 
Bassam Abdul-Baki wrote: Also, any chance you can add the watch forums to the main CP page?
Where would you display them? The main page is pretty crowded already - anything added to the right column is just gonna push the existing boxes further down...
...actually, that brings up a more interesting question: if you could pick anything, what would you like to see on a "CP overview" page?

Help me help you. Why don't you just tell me the name of a user who changed his nick?

Well, duh, the CPHog forum page.

Yup.
It's hardly perfect, since it'll only look at the last 50 posts by a user to determine what other names they've been using... and of course, it does nothing about users who just create new accounts. But it is handy when you see an unfamiliar name and are wondering if it's someone you'd normally recognize...

Can't you just get the IP address from the database of each user and query against all names using that IP? What if the users changed names more than once, do you list all?
P.S. - The latest post in the Math forum tipped me off.

Well, i don't exactly have unfettered access to that database. But even if i did, that'd fall apart as soon as someone posted from a shared IP address.
Bassam Abdul-Baki wrote: What if the users changed names more than once, do you list all?
Yup. If you see a post by "Nathan A.", then bring up his bio - something like six different names across the last fifty posts.

We actually don't get any information from the DB. CPhog just pulls DOM manipulation tricks and XMLHttpRequest magic against the same exact CP pages you get.

I installed the above GM update a couple days ago, and now when I go to a new forum, I get this message about 1/3 of the time: clickety
Anyone else seeing this?

Niet. Works on my machine. Not my code.

I've actually seen this a few times recently. But i updated something like five other extensions at roughly the same time i updated GM, so i didn't know what to blame. I'll have to take a closer look next time it happens...

Wow, you installed GM and got Vista! I want a copy of that script.

Kewl, thanks for taking the time to look into this.

It would be kind of cool if we could forum watch our last five threads we posted in. So that over on the left the topmost forum watch would link to our last 5 comments in any forum not just the lounge. That would be kind of cool. Just put that somewhere in the nebulous regions of the todo list and roll it out before the sun burns out.

Would be nice to see the sun burn out as a forum watch as well. Be cooler if it went nova, but it's unlikely to happen.

I actually want this feature, badly. I've been holding off on it as a means of motivating myself to do some other, less interesting, code cleanup - once that's done, this is gonna happen.
Ah, the joys of watching a quick-and-very-dirty script balloon into a full-fledged app...

Do you know how much work that will be? 
I'd be willing to accept monetary bribes to get that to the top of the feature list. 
[update] Actually. We've got two options here. We can either assume that you're going to be using CPhog, keep track of the last five messages you've posted in unique threads, and add them to a list of threads to watch. Or, we could go off the Latest Comments[^] page for each user...which is cached it seems, and doesn't actually pick up stuff for a few minutes.
The second way is more reliable (assuming we can get Chris to embed the thread id in each of those links), but obviously going to be a bit out of date...which won't help if you've got a very current thread you'd like to watch. The first way is less reliable (in terms of accurate content), because you must be using CPhog for each post to get it to work and we'd be storing that information in global storage, so it would be machine-specific rather than portable to every machine.
Hrm. Things to think about...

Days and weeks. Bribes should definitely be involved.
